yeah when WE (the US) said we had secret intelligence with regards to chemical weapons in Iraq.


But this time its not us presenting evidence pointing to Iran going for weapons grade, its the IAEA.

Never forget that in Islam Al-taqiyya (diplomacy) allows for the outright lying on any stage including global. Once they have the bomb, what more can be done?

Brinksmanship is a dangerous game. its served North Korea well, Saddam, not so well.

But if it comes to blows its gonna be more than Iraq and Afghanistan put together I bet.

As far as "we're too broke to do that crap" aint gonna fly... we havent run the draft yet right? are we low on rifles? ships? Planes? yeah we can (and will) war if it came to it. budget be damned.

You mean the speech after the Iranians overthrew the US puppet that was placed in their country after the US executed a coup in Iran overthrowing a democratically elected government

Do you not think living under the repressive heel of tyrant for 26 years might foster the opinion if the people that the power that placed the tyrant might be evil?

Yup, they are hoping the majority of Americans have forgotten this, and seeing the ignorance of history just on this board, their gamble is not that risky

Why do Americans even care?

Why are we willing to kill our kids over sister religions on the other side of the world that forgot their common ancestry?

Why are we willing to add trillions to our debt when we already cry we are taxed too much and have not even paid off our last 2 wars?

Probably the military welfare... trying to get rid of the automatic cuts coming in a few years... I guess some people cannot live without welfare.

So fear is going to make us act irrationally? What is the realistic chance we will ever be hit by a nuclear weapon? Why don't we bomb North Korea? Those crazies scare me a lot more. Iran is a very proud Nation... they will stand and fight. It will tear up the whole region. Then we will put in yet another wacko government and rinse and repeat in another generation?

With technology and information spreading rapidly their government is already facing enough pressure. They are a theocracy living in the 21st century... their time is nearly over anyways.

We are in the midst of energy wars, like it or not.

So why dont we leave our kids something. Invest the trillions of war into creating a smart energy grid/future... instead of leaving them with crimes against humanity.
